ABOUT THERE:
It's okay to sit still. To not go anywhere. Sometimes our problems or worries can feel too big, and we don't know how to fix them. Just as a butterfly has to sit in it's dark chrysalis before its time to spread its wings, sometimes we have to sit in our own confusion or discomfort. But with a friend by your side, the journey can feel much sweeter. When we're ready, we can keep walking, no matter how long it takes to get . . . there. In this soothing follow up to Here by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ally Condie, readers are introduced to the power of being in the present moment and taking their time, and the importance of honoring all of their emotions.
ABOUT THE UNWEDDING:
A Reese's Book Club Pick!
Ellery Wainwright is alone at the edge of the world. She and her husband, Luke, were supposed to spend their twentieth wedding anniversary together at the luxurious Resort at Broken Point in Big Sur, California. Where better to celebrate a marriage, a family, and a life together than at one of the most stunning places on earth? But now she’s traveling solo. To add insult to injury, there’s a wedding at Broken Point scheduled during her stay.
Ellery remembers how it felt to be on the cusp of everything new and wonderful, with a glimmering future just ahead. Now, she isn’t certain of anything except for her love for her kids and her growing realization that this place, though beautiful, is unsettling.
When Ellery discovers the dead groom, she realizes that she is not the only one whose future is no longer guaranteed. Before the police can reach Broken Point, a mudslide takes out the road to the resort, leaving the guests trapped. When another guest dies, it’s clear something horrible is brewing. Everyone at Broken Point has a secret. And everyone has a shadow. Including Ellery.
